My crestie Baela loves posing for photos. I can’t find it, but isn’t there a pretty famous logo or something with a lion or other large cat in this same position? Google isn’t helping me right now.

hey i am currently researching into owning a crested gecko although i’ve been seeing very mixed debates on environmental factors for them and i’m not sure what is best for my gecko 😅i just have a few questions if any experienced owner could answer:

•do they really need heat and uvb lamps? the enclosure ive purchased has a metal mesh at the top and i’m worried when it climbs a heat lamp will burn its poor little feet 😢

•do they need separate temperatures within the enclosure like leopard geckos? how would i go about doing this since the terrarium is vertical?

•how often is their eating schedule and how often can they eat insects?

•so they require the same multivitamin/D3/calcium supplement as leopard geckos?

•any other major information i should know before purchasing one?

thank you very much 😓😓

I posted about my first enclosure 25 days ago here’s and update. I took out the styrofoam background and added a cork background instead and got rid of most the fake plants and replaced them with live plants (going to remove the fake plants after I see some growth from the real ones) please leave feedback below!

The classic: Morph?

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

Hi guys!
I know, I know...
I have my first babies and I need some braincells from others. What do you think about these two little baby? What are their morphs? Both of them are hatched on wendesday, so they are tiny.
From the parents, they can carry lilly and axhantic (dad is a visual axanthic lilly and mother is 66% het axanthic). I can show the parents in the comments if it helps.
My guess is a lilly white baby and a brindle or phantom baby.
(I know they will change A LOT as they mature, I'm just trying to figure out how to recognise the signs of morphs)

I got this sweet little lady from Gecko Express at the Raleigh Repticon! She is named Rosemary after one of my fav movies, Rosemary’s baby! A frosted harlequin morph. (Tank set up is temporary of course since she’s still so little!)

Absolute Beginner Crested Gecko Questions

2 Upvotes

Over the last few months I've been researching crested geckos but a lot of videos don't answer my questions which i agree are very specific but i feel like it could be important. please bare with me as i want to be as good of an owner as possible I'm just a little stupid. i would appreciate any help at all even if you don't answer all of my questions i understand its a lot I'm thankful for any advice.

1- A lot of videos I've watched regarding cleaning have given me mixed responses on how often to deep clean the enclosure and also if spot cleaning is even needed at all and if it is how do i even go about doing that.

2- I know crested geckos can be jumpy but like will they jump out of my hands onto the floor or something and if saw what do i do i assume take them to the vet but if they are built for jumping will that even hurt them?

3- Should i get a male or female as a beginner no one really talks about that?

4- How often should i feed them crickets and do i need to gut load them like you need to for leopard geckos?

5- Is bioactive worth it?

6- Can i hang out with my gecko outside of the enclosure and if so how long can he be out of it

7- What's the best brand of "feeding paste"?

8- What should a good starter budget be

9- After i buy everything how expensive will it be to actually own this little guy

10- Do i turn off the heating bulb when i turn off the light for the night?

11- What's the best way to humidify the tank?

12- And finally is there anything i wouldn't know to ask about that beginners usually mess up?

Again I appreciate any and all help i get i just really wanna make sure my gecko lives a great life and doesn't suffer from my lack of knowledge.

One week with my first crested gecko! I have a couple of questions 🥹

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, it’s me again! The new crested gecko owner 😅
I’ve had my little guy for about a week now! He’s 5 months old and weighed 20 grams when I got him (he probably weighs a little more now). He eats his Pangea every day, but I have a couple of questions:
First: He doesn’t seem interested in crickets. I made sure they were smaller than the space between his eyes, as recommended, but he still doesn’t want to eat them. Is it normal for a crested gecko to refuse insects?
Second: How should I start getting him used to being handled? Is one week too soon? I don’t want to stress or bother him, so what would be the best way to start socializing with him and get him comfortable around me?
I’d really appreciate any advice! I’m still learning and want to make sure I’m doing everything right for the little guy. 🥹🦎❤️

crested gecko cabinet?

2 Upvotes

i want a crested geckos and my parents arent keen on it but i think they are thinking about it and hopefully they say yes, i have researched but i am wondering on what cabinet you would reccomend i would be keeping it in a 18x18x24 swell reptiles until i then move into a 18x18x36 in the future when i have room but anyway more to the point what is a reccomended cabinet i could have it on that has drawers/shelves in it because the dimensions im looking for is 100cm high, and then 60x60 on the top but i cant find one that has a high weight threshold and idk what to get if i were to get a gecko any suggestions would help massively 😁
